Charlton was probably a planned settlement in medieval times but did not have a church, and the inhabitants would have worshipped at Standlynch or Downton. It was not until 1851 that the Church of All Saints was built, largely at the expense of Horatio, 3rd Earl Nelson, to serve Charlton and Witherington.

Earl Nelson's private chaplain became the first curate. In 1969 the tithing of Witherington was transferred to Alderbury and the church served Charlton alone. The church is now part of the Chalke (Valley) Deanery.

The lych gate to the church is the Charlton-all-Saints and Standlynch War Memorial. The names listed are: A Baker; D Elgar; I Elliott; S Elliott; A Ellis; W J Frampton; P R Gould; E J Jutsum; W Litten; C Palmer; F Perry; R C Pettiward; H H Phillips; A Priddice; V C Sheppard; C G Street; C S Street; E J Street; J L Street; G Tanner; R Wolfries; A Wort; L J Wort.
